Review Summary

RAKU is described as a small, cozy Japanese spot where diners enjoy authentic, well priced dishes such as Tonkotsu ramen, Yakisoba, Katsudon, pork katsu curry, takoyaki, and karaage don. Reviews praise the pork and chicken for a crispy exterior and moist interior, and the curry sauce is highlighted as rich and comforting, with portions generous and prices fair. Service is described as warm and attentive, with friendly staff and a welcoming ambience that many feel suits the place, and the music is noted as fitting the vibe. Some comments note a recent price increase on pork katsu that disappointed loyal customers, and a few critiques mention fatty portions, ordinary rice or sauce in some dishes, or dishes arriving cold. Overall, the consensus is that the food is delicious and affordable, prompting many to say they would return to RAKU.

I came here because I was craving some comfort food. I must say that their Karaage don really hit the spot. I truly enjoyed the fried chicken, as well as the egg & rice!

Simple but delicious Japanese rice dishes, Raku is the place to go if you're craving comfort food. We came by close to closing time so they ran out of chicken karaage. The service could be better as the restaurant was full & there were only 2 people taking orders & cooking. I feel bad because they had to also take care of deliveries on their own.

On a commandé sur un service en ligne & on a trouvé ca très bon, On a simplement pris 2x Poulet curry & 1x Karaage La portion était un peu petite, donc on était content d'avoir pris le karaage en plus, mais sinon en terme de gout c'était excellent. On a aussi pris des beignets & on ne s'attendait certainement pas a ça (positivement). C'était très simple & délicieux sans être lourd ou trop sucré. Parfait.

I paid extra for the karaage curry, as well as a tuna & mayo onigiri & a Ramune bottle. The karaage curry cost me 18 CAD before tax, & what I got was incredibly disappointing for what I paid. The chicken was slightly flavorful, but it was neither crispy nor very juicy. The rice felt pasty, & the curry was under-seasoned. It looked like what I would toss up in the kitchen if I just cooked rice imperfectly, added a bit of under-seasoned store-bought curry & called it a day. The tuna & mayo onigiri was decent, which is why I am giving 2 stars instead of 1. This is not worth the money at all, I can spend even less & get higher-quality chicken, rice & veggies. As for the Ramune, it's Ramune. Maybe I ordered delivery late, but the quality for the price is not acceptable.
